AI Technical Summary
Existing control strategies for heavy-haul combined trains fail to effectively consider the nonlinear coupling between adjacent carriages, resulting in insufficient consistency in braking control and affecting carriage structure and passenger comfort.
A Franklin linearized model is constructed, and a cooperative braking controller is designed using a distributed model predictive control method, combining the force and motion information of each carriage of the train. The distributed braking system achieves the goal of consistent braking, and the Franklin model is used to predict the future dynamic behavior of the train and optimize the distribution of braking force.
It improves safety and ride comfort during train braking, reduces interaction forces between carriages, and extends the lifespan of carriages and connecting devices.
